00:00:00.000 Hey, guess what?
00:00:01.000 On the show today, I'm talking to my friends Chris and Jackie Laidlaw about their marital authorship.
00:00:06.000 And I'm talking to the great Dr. Andy Wakefield, hero, longtime hero, who first exposed the potentiality that maybe we don't know everything we need to know about vaccines.
00:00:15.000 We'll be talking about Trump at the United Nations.
00:00:17.000 And we'll be talking about the Canada Made program, which now kills pro rata.
00:00:22.000 More Canadians die from assisted dying than Americans die from firearm related deaths.
00:00:28.000 All today on Stay Free with Russell Brand.
00:00:31.000 Blame Canada!
00:00:31.000 Wake me up, wake me up, can I wake me up?
00:00:39.000 Wake me up, can just wake me up?
00:00:44.000 Wake me up, can my love?
00:00:54.000 And welcome to Stay Free with Russell Brand.
00:00:56.000 That was an abrupt end to that theme tune, Jake.
00:00:59.000 But then you wrote it.
00:01:00.000 Yeah, maybe do that again, that intro.
00:01:02.000 No, fuck it, man.
00:01:03.000 We're in it now.
00:01:04.000 On the show today, I'm going to be talking to Dr. Andrew Wakefield.
00:01:07.000 I'll be talking to Chris and Jackie Laidlaw.
00:01:09.000 We'll be talking to Andrew Wakefield in particular.
00:01:11.000 If you're a person that's long followed conspiracy theories, that's considered that potentially the information you get in mainstream media may be at odds with fundamental truths, here's a few that you might want to tick off your bingo card.
00:01:22.000 Who killed JFK?
00:01:23.000 What happened on 9 11?
00:01:24.000 What are these UAP disclosures really about?
00:01:27.000 Been going on with Jeffrey Epstein and his crazy airline.
00:01:31.000 Do you trust your government?
00:01:34.000 Do you believe it's potentially possible that you're being manipulated by forces and sources that you can't rely on on trust?
00:01:41.000 Well, Andy Wakefield, or Dr. Andrew Wakefield, way, way back 35 years ago, exposed information about clinical trials when it comes to the potential impact of MMR vaccines that could have been, should have been taken seriously a long time ago.
00:01:58.000 It might have taken 35 years, but Ongoing vindication is occurring.
00:02:02.000 We'll be talking to him a little bit later.
00:02:03.000 In fact, you might have seen him on the live show that we did on Wednesday because I'm talking to him in two parts.
00:02:10.000 You better believe I'll find a reason to get my friend Christian Astis straight out of Bethlehem on the show.
00:02:14.000 And if you're watching this anywhere other than Rumble, click the link in the description or just get over to Rumble.
00:02:19.000 And if you don't have Rumble Premium yet, get Rumble Premium right now.
00:02:24.000 Okay, Trump is at the United Nations, which is a sort of oxymoronic, if not straight up.
00:02:30.000 Moronic name because it ultimately shows that you can't have unity among nations and nations simultaneously.
00:02:37.000 But fortunately, we're on the very precipice of discovering that the very idea of nations is coming to an end.
00:02:44.000 But let's have a look at how Donald Trump, a man with an extraordinary ego and particularly powerful public persona, handles the ridiculousness of being in this peculiar, what do you want to call it?
00:02:58.000 I don't know, a menagerie of leaders, a zoo of leaders.
00:03:01.000 Let's have a look at it.
00:03:02.000 And also, let's see how he continues to.
00:03:04.000 Dig out, as we say in the UK, CNN.
00:03:07.000 Because CNN, CNN are like, you know, like sometimes where there's a battered woman that keeps going back to a battered, their husband that batters them or whatever.
00:03:17.000 I guess that CNN and Trump have got that kind of relationship.
00:03:19.000 And if you are a battered woman, tell someone, get out of that relationship.
00:03:22.000 Let's have a look.
00:03:23.000 So it's an honor to be here.
00:03:25.000 I'm surprised that CNN is here covering me.
00:03:27.000 You shouldn't be here.
00:03:28.000 You should not, you should not be here covering me.
00:03:31.000 You said you weren't going to cover me.
00:03:32.000 You shouldn't be covering me.
00:03:34.000 But I will tell you, it is an honor.
00:03:37.000 To be at the United Nations, and we're making a lot of progress.
00:03:39.000 Our country is doing really, really well.
00:03:42.000 Thank you very much, everybody.
00:03:43.000 What I like about Trump is he does things like body language like that.
00:03:47.000 That's magic body language.
00:03:48.000 Do you see?
00:03:49.000 He's still, I think, recalling some pre human shamanic time where human beings could do literal magic like Methuselah or something.
00:03:58.000 I think he might still have access to interdimensional power.
00:04:03.000 The other thing that Trump maintains is a little more prosaic, a little more quotidian, a little more mundane and everyday than all of that.
00:04:08.000 He has a sort of straight up ability to.
00:04:10.000 Talk normal.
00:04:12.000 And he does that rather beautifully when he's.
00:04:15.000 Let's do the Japanese translation thing first, because I like that.
00:04:21.000 Numbers.
00:04:21.000 I watch your numbers all the time.
00:04:24.000 The industry in Japan is doing very well.
00:04:27.000 The country is doing very well.
00:04:29.000 It's a very big improvement.
00:04:31.000 And it's an honor to be with her.
00:04:33.000 She's a friend of mine.
00:04:34.000 We got to know each other very well over the last period of time.
00:04:38.000 And she's going to be a great prime minister.
00:04:40.000 She's going to go down as one of the great prime ministers.
00:04:42.000 to have your same representatives, some of them that I know very well over the years, right?
00:04:47.000 They're tough and they're smart.
00:04:49.000 And it's about to be with you.
00:04:52.000 I'm a member of the United States.
00:05:05.000 I'm a member of the United States.
00:05:12.000 I'm a member of the United States.
00:05:22.000 I'm a member of the United States.
00:05:37.000 So it looks like Trump's got that deal with Greenland.
00:05:41.000 Greenland, is it even a proper country?
00:05:44.000 Let's have a look.
00:05:47.000 No U.S. adversary will ever be permitted to establish a military presence in Greenland anymore.
00:05:53.000 We will immediately begin the process of developing a large military presence in the appropriate locations.
00:06:00.000 This agreement will be signed later today, and I look forward to working with the wonderful people of Denmark and Greenland.
00:06:08.000 It's been a great experience, amazing experience, and we've really formed a bond.
00:06:12.000 There it is.
00:06:13.000 So, we'll say what we like about Trump, but he does seem to be able to maneuver geopolitical issues with extraordinary dexterity.
00:06:20.000 But ultimately, does it matter?
00:06:24.000 How we move the pawns on the chessboard of international politics if ultimately the hands that move them belong to dark and occultist interests.
00:06:35.000 I mean, let me know in the comments and chat if you think that even someone as individualistic and potentially megalomaniacal as Trump can be manipulated by dark powers.
00:06:47.000 Isn't the beauty of the system in part that even when participating in it, you don't know that you're participating in it?
00:06:55.000 I talked to you as someone who's before been.
00:06:57.000 Pretty heavily involved in like filmmaking and all that kind of stuff.
00:07:01.000 I never encountered like handlers and people going, why don't you convey this message about individualism or hedonism or decadence?
00:07:07.000 But nevertheless, you end up participating in messages that are beneficial to centralized systems of power that need all of us lost in individualism and completely captured by our limited and reduced senses so that we can't participate in the powerful spiritual forces that are available to you.
00:07:24.000 All right, here's Trump accuses the UN of promoting mass migration while claiming to protect cultural heritage.
00:07:30.000 Nah, man, you get Trump, and you know what I think about Trump.
00:07:33.000 He's a person that's exposing in real time, even as he himself is in ways compromised because he's a person, the problems inherent with centralized institutions of government and power.
00:07:47.000 That's what I think about Trump.
00:07:48.000 I think that he's an interesting and powerful person, but I think that when you fixate on personalities, you miss the point.
00:07:56.000 There is only one king, and you have direct access to him.
00:07:59.000 All human beings are flawed.
00:08:01.000 All of us are broken.
00:08:02.000 When you revere human beings in the manner which we ought to revere God, you end up trapped in a crisis and a circular crisis at that.
00:08:10.000 If you're happy to exchange colours and ties and names of political parties every four years or eight years, it doesn't really matter, then you'll remain trapped in a conundrum.
00:08:20.000 And I say this as a proud Englishman.
00:08:23.000 Now, my country, we've had, I think, seven prime ministers in the last 10 years, and I think only two of them were elected by popular mandate.
00:08:33.000 The current Prime Minister of the UK is a man called Andy Burnham.
00:08:37.000 He was the mayor of Greater Manchester.
00:08:39.000 If you care about my political beliefs, they are these that power should be reduced to the smallest available unit individual sovereignty under Christ, family sovereignty under Christ, community sovereignty under Christ.
00:08:49.000 And of course, whether you worship Christ or not is entirely optional and voluntary.
00:08:54.000 You couldn't possibly impose that on somebody.
00:08:57.000 It's ridiculous and it's impossible.
00:08:58.000 But more and more people are discovering that this world is not going to work for you.
00:09:03.000 It don't matter if you get rich.
00:09:05.000 It don't matter if you get famous.
00:09:06.000 It doesn't matter.
00:09:07.000 It's irrelevant.
00:09:08.000 And even things that are less obviously problematic, like fame and money and sex, things like just trying to raise a family, in the end, it will all be exposed.
00:09:16.000 The world can never serve you.
00:09:18.000 But He doesn't give to you as the world gives to you.
00:09:21.000 Not to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
00:09:25.000 In every moment, you can be reborn.
00:09:27.000 The person that began this sentence is already dead, but it was quite a long sentence.
00:09:31.000 Let's have a look at the Prime Minister of the UK, Andy Burnham, peddling propaganda.
00:09:38.000 Now, he might be, let me know what you think about this in the comments and chat if you care about British politics.
00:09:42.000 He might be alright, I think.
00:09:44.000 I think he might be an alright person.
00:09:46.000 However, it's irrelevant because the system that he has entered into is demonic and Luciferian.
00:09:53.000 Demonic and Luciferian.
00:09:54.000 What I mean by that is it's occupied by dark spiritual power and it is a counterfeit imitation of real power.
00:10:02.000 And as such, it will never deliver anything other than misery, pain, decay, entropy.
00:10:08.000 And in order for it to perpetuate those ideas, it needs you and me to be locked into an endless cycle of pointless conflict.
00:10:15.000 And we're doing a pretty good job at that, so let's all pat ourselves on the back for participating in this illusion so enthusiastically.
00:10:21.000 Eating ice creams in the illusion, driving cars in the illusion, and damn it.
00:10:26.000 Masturbating in the illusion.
00:10:29.000 All those things are sins.
00:10:29.000 You should pack them all in right away now.
00:10:31.000 That's why me, oh, Russ, I don't look at pornography, so you can't judge me.
00:10:34.000 I'm out.
00:10:35.000 I'm out of the matrix, baby.
00:10:36.000 Although I do have some pretty interesting interdimensional challenges coming up next week.
00:10:41.000 So let's have a look at Andy Burnham in New York, still excited by being the Prime Minister of a country, as if such things could ever matter.
00:10:49.000 Let's have a look.
00:10:50.000 I'm here in New York to tackle the biggest challenges we all face.
00:10:53.000 One of those is AI, changing incredibly quickly.
00:10:57.000 And Britain will show leadership, making sure it's harnessed to make our country safer and stronger.
00:11:03.000 While I'm here, I'll also.
00:11:05.000 So, he's talking about AI, and you are probably becoming aware that you're being primed right now for an AI crisis.
00:11:12.000 Has anyone noticed that?
00:11:12.000 That we're being primed for it?
00:11:13.000 That you're being told, oh, that even people that are high up at AI companies are saying stuff like, so get all of this, people are reacting, so get the shots, man.
00:11:22.000 Like, the leaders of big tech companies are telling us there's going to be a crisis, leaders are telling us that there's going to be a crisis.
00:11:31.000 Maybe it'll be a solar flare.
00:11:33.000 Who knows what it'll be?
00:11:34.000 Maybe something will happen when the UK, it seems, goes to war with Russia.
00:11:38.000 Oh, the Russians have done some cyber attack.
00:11:40.000 And in order to protect you, we're going to have to restrict you.
00:11:44.000 It's just because we want to protect you, though.
00:11:46.000 In order to protect you from COVID, you just have to take this medication.
00:11:50.000 In order to protect you from the Russians, you just have to stay in your house.
00:11:54.000 You can't look after yourself, can you?
00:11:57.000 Hi, I'm the government.
00:11:58.000 You can't look after yourself.
00:11:59.000 You're an idiot.
00:11:59.000 You know you're an idiot, right?
00:12:00.000 Of course, you know that.
00:12:01.000 You've seen mirrors, have you?
00:12:02.000 Yeah, that's you in there.
00:12:03.000 You're an idiot.
00:12:04.000 I'm the government.
00:12:05.000 I can protect you from you.
00:12:06.000 I'm not just the government, by the way.
00:12:07.000 I'm the government and a nexus of power that interconnects with all sorts of commercial and global interests.
00:12:12.000 So, even a national sovereign government is basically castrated.
00:12:15.000 And I'm going to protect you.
00:12:17.000 Now, but in order to protect you, you are going to have to do everything I tell you.
00:12:21.000 I mean, that's just common sense, isn't it?
00:12:22.000 How can I protect you if I'm not in control of you?
00:12:24.000 Can't protect you if I'm not in control of you.
00:12:26.000 So, all you have to do is give up your intimate connection to the limitless consciousness that's pouring through you like a river of living water rushing out of your belly right now.
00:12:35.000 All you have to do is cut that off.
00:12:36.000 Truncate it and exchange it for.
00:12:38.000 Well, look, we've got a program of how often we need you and your children to have these injections.
00:12:42.000 Therefore, you're good!
00:12:43.000 Therefore, you're good!
00:12:44.000 What, you thought that the injections might somehow impair you?
00:12:46.000 Oh, when did you become so cynical?
00:12:48.000 Was it the assassination of JFK?
00:12:50.000 Was it by looking into the origins and funding of the Second World War?
00:12:54.000 Was it that you maybe read the Bible?
00:12:56.000 I don't know what's made you so cynical, but I can't help you if you don't do everything I tell you.
00:13:01.000 Now, be careful because AI, which we've promoted and funded and made you fund actually when it was a governmental phase because it was funded by your taxes, is now going to turn on you and fuck you up, forgive the language, big time.
00:13:13.000 So, we're going to have to help you.
00:13:15.000 Stay in your homes, shut your mouths.
00:13:18.000 Let's have a look at what else he's got to say.
00:13:19.000 While I'm here, I'll also be working to help resolve the conflict in the Middle East, which has pushed up global energy prices, putting more pressure on household.
00:13:26.000 Okay, you've got to solve the conflict in the Middle East, are you?
00:13:30.000 And you're not put off by the fact that it's taken millennia to resolve and the finest minds in politics and philosophy have all drawn a blank up to now?
00:13:37.000 Okay, well, you know, fingers crossed!
00:13:40.000 Putting more pressure on household bills and the cost of living alongside.
00:13:44.000 I love that how a global holy conflict like the Middle Eastern war has been reduced.
00:13:49.000 Putting up your household bills.
00:13:51.000 There's a battle between good and evil, right?
00:13:53.000 They're interdimensional beings all fighting in the celestial realm.
00:13:56.000 And have you noticed how it's affecting your gas prices?
00:14:00.000 Like, what an attempt to nullify your holy divinity, the powers that you harness.
00:14:06.000 He used the word harness, you will remember, when describing the potential threats of AI.
00:14:10.000 We will harness AI and make it safe.
00:14:12.000 He said that earlier.
00:14:13.000 Harness is similar to the word meek.
00:14:15.000 What you must do is access the divine power that is running through you right now, not use it to try to get.
00:14:23.000 You know, fellatio and lollipops and stuff like that, but instead use it to participate in the holy war that you were born for.
00:14:30.000 Let's see what this guy's got next.
00:14:32.000 At our international partners, I'll be pushing for a just and lasting peace in Ukraine, as well as making the case for a two state solution with Israelis and Palestinians living side by side in safety and security.
00:14:45.000 He rounded off with we're going to resolve the Ukraine Russia conflict, which some people regard as a kind of civil war within an empire, and we're going to get a two state solution between Israelis and Palestinians.
00:14:55.000 Israel and Palestine.
00:14:56.000 Remember earlier in his 30 second speech, he'd resolved the problems of AI.
00:14:59.000 Now, also recall that I think Andy Burnham is a good person.
00:15:03.000 As in, if you were able, as the psalm suggests, to search him with the light of consciousness, to look right within him, a molecular level, down, down, down amongst the atoms where everything stops making sense, where electrons spin a baseball pitch away from the nucleus at the center, if you were to scale it up so you could observe and comprehend it.
00:15:24.000 If you looked inside him, you would find the light of the Lord, because all of us are blessed.
00:15:29.000 All of us have access to it.
00:15:30.000 None of us are excluded.
00:15:32.000 And the only thing we have to do to be participants in this endless banquet of never ending light is to surrender the idea that we are in control, to surrender to the absolute truth, life, and way, to allow a baptism to rinse away the dead and decaying you that is already dead.
00:15:49.000 Put down the corpse, let it go.
00:15:51.000 Stop trying to be alive.
00:15:53.000 Stop trying to get the spaceship polished and look inside at the inhabitant of the vehicle, the occupant of the vehicle.
00:16:00.000 So, um, Andy Burnham, he's a pretty good guy, but I looked into some of the advisors and stuff that are around him, and many of them are recognizable names from previous administrations, which leads me to believe that the cutaneous, by that I mean skin deep, changes that occur in politics are irrelevant when compared to the deep skeletal changes that are enacted by dark and demonic forces.
00:16:24.000 Pretty nice guy though.
00:16:26.000 Anyways, look at this.
00:16:27.000 This dude, he's from near where I'm from, he supports the same football team as me.
00:16:31.000 You're American, so you don't know who Danny Dyer is, but Danny Dyer.
00:16:34.000 He's good people.
00:16:35.000 He's good people, is Danny Dyer.
00:16:37.000 I've not seen this yet, but this is him, I think, ranting because in the UK, my lovely country, they're trying to get us to.
00:16:45.000 Where's the war thing?
00:16:46.000 Is that, is that, do we have that war thing?
00:16:48.000 I really need that actually.
00:16:49.000 No, that's not in there.
00:16:51.000 Like the thing where it's sort of like where they're saying like that they're going to put us in that war against Russia.
00:16:57.000 It's on here and it's, and it's asset, yeah, asset 30, Jake.
00:17:01.000 Check this.
00:17:01.000 In my country, which is being very, very badly run and people aren't, people are not enjoying being British right now.
00:17:07.000 The country's falling apart.
00:17:08.000 We're arresting people for social media posts.
00:17:11.000 There's these mad rape gangs that have marauded across the country.
00:17:14.000 I mean, the whole thing's insane.
00:17:16.000 Insane.
00:17:17.000 And on this basis, they're thinking of introducing conscription for a war against.
00:17:23.000 What's up?
00:17:24.000 I was like, at least in America, when you guys have wars, you pick countries that you can beat, or should be.
00:17:29.000 I mean, Vietnam, Korea, little made up, not made up, but little countries, right?
00:17:34.000 We're going to do a war against.
00:17:39.000 Russia, who never lose wars ever.
00:17:43.000 Hitler, Napoleon, the greatest.
00:17:47.000 Despotic minds in all history.
00:17:49.000 That country, Russia, do not lose wars.
00:17:53.000 Have you ever been around Russians?
00:17:54.000 Have you ever met any of them?
00:17:55.000 They've got a phrase in Russia, like, he who smiles is an idiot, is what their phrase basically means.
00:18:00.000 They think you're an idiot if you smile at them.
00:18:03.000 I went on holiday once by mistake with some Russians.
00:18:05.000 It was in India, and their Christmas is a bit of a different time than our Christmas.
00:18:08.000 I ended up with all these Russians, I don't know.
00:18:10.000 But even the weakest, littlest one of those, I'm going to go ahead and say fuckers, look like you could just pop your head open like a cantaloupe.
00:18:20.000 And eat the insides just for fun.
00:18:22.000 Don't have war with Russia.
00:18:24.000 Do not have war with Russia unless you are an international or maybe even interdimensional power with access to weapons that can sort of melt down molecules or something.
00:18:34.000 Russia do not lose wars.
00:18:36.000 And they don't lose wars against British people who right now don't even know.
00:18:40.000 You're not allowed to even be British.
00:18:41.000 You're not allowed to put flags up.
00:18:43.000 You're not allowed to sort of go, we done well with the Second World War, didn't we?
00:18:46.000 With that bit when we was waiting for America.
00:18:48.000 You're not even allowed to say that no more.
00:18:50.000 You're not allowed to.
00:18:52.000 You're not allowed to any traditions.
00:18:54.000 Don't have a war against Russia.
00:18:55.000 But check the bulls on this dude out on the news.
00:18:59.000 Like, you can't even find it online no more.
00:19:01.000 Someone had to just screen grab it saying, like, well, if people don't want to have a war against Russia, I'm talking about British people, man.
00:19:07.000 Like, if they don't have a war against Russia, we'll just lock them up.
00:19:10.000 Check it.
00:19:12.000 I do.
00:19:13.000 I think the British would rise to greatness if they had to.
00:19:15.000 We would have to lock a few people up, by the way.
00:19:17.000 Some of the pro Russian voices, people saying there isn't a threat, don't fight for your country, don't go to war for Burnham.
00:19:23.000 We'll have to lock them up.
00:19:24.000 Well, we've suspended habeas corpus during the Napoleonic Wars.
00:19:27.000 Well, and under the Defense of the Realm, I would say.
00:19:29.000 So, you know, we would have to go to those measures, and we would have to look at things like conscription as well, then, to get the numbers up.
00:19:35.000 Okay, conscription to fight a war against Russia for a country that doesn't know what it is anymore because it's been bureaucratized.
00:19:42.000 Remember, when C.S. Lewis wanted to depict a realm of demons, he depicted them as existing within a bureaucracy.
00:19:49.000 Bureaucracy is the stripping away of your humanity and making you about nothing but rational transactionalism.
00:19:55.000 That's what they want you to do.
00:19:56.000 They want you to forget your spirit.
00:19:57.000 They want you to forget your sense of humour, your joy, your sexuality, your power.
00:20:02.000 They want to strip you of all of that so that they can control you.
00:20:05.000 And only you can stop it happening.
00:20:07.000 When people say, What can I do?
00:20:08.000 I'm only one person.
00:20:09.000 That's the only thing you can be.
00:20:11.000 That's the only thing you can be.
00:20:13.000 That's the only thing that matters.
00:20:14.000 You are a participant in eternity.
00:20:16.000 Start acting like it.
00:20:18.000 Here's Danny Dyer demonstrating.
00:20:21.000 I don't know the number.
00:20:24.000 Sorry, guys.
00:20:25.000 You'll probably go now.
00:20:25.000 Just talk me through your message for the Prime Minister about.
00:20:28.000 What do you think?
00:20:29.000 I don't know who the Prime Minister is, mate.
00:20:30.000 Do you?
00:20:30.000 Andy Burnham.
00:20:31.000 Yeah, no, but who is he?
00:20:32.000 I don't understand.
00:20:33.000 Anyone vote for him?
00:20:34.000 Because I didn't vote for him.
00:20:35.000 Nobody voted for Andy Burnham, but that's the way it is in the UK these days.
00:20:39.000 We've had seven Prime Ministers in eight years.
00:20:41.000 When will we have the next one?
00:20:43.000 Let's take a look at Polly Market.
00:20:44.000 Some people think we could have one more by the end of 2027.
00:20:48.000 That would be insane.
00:20:50.000 But we live in insane times.
00:20:52.000 Why not bet on it?
00:20:53.000 Download the Polymarket app and bet on real world events today.
00:20:58.000 So I think we've had successive prime ministers that are cunts.
00:21:04.000 End of.
00:21:04.000 Put out on the fucking BBC.
00:21:05.000 Cheers, man.
00:21:07.000 Sorry, guys, that's it.
00:21:11.000 Just in case you're offended, in my country, that is not a swear word.
00:21:15.000 We use that colloquially.
00:21:17.000 The only country that uses the C word more liberally than Britain is Australia, where the C word, I think, is on their money.
00:21:24.000 I think they have it on their.
00:21:25.000 I think it might be their currency.
00:21:28.000 In fact, they don't use that middle R.
00:21:30.000 They just call it, you know, what?
00:21:33.000 For a pint of Foster's, 10 cunts, right?
00:21:36.000 Like, for that, it's not offensive for them, okay?
00:21:39.000 So remember, like, the language, yes, it does have a resonance, and the word spelling is not a coincidence.
00:21:45.000 Language does have.
00:21:46.000 Power, but he only has the power that you give it, and it's up to you whether you want to participate in that.
00:21:52.000 Danny Dyer, just in.
00:21:53.000 Oh, Danny Dyer, he's dead now.
00:21:55.000 Look at that, Danny Dyer.
00:21:57.000 He's a popular star of soap operas and stuff like that in the UK, and a person who just briefly spoke the truth.
00:22:02.000 So I expect he'll be accused of pedophilia within the next 10, 15 minutes or so.
00:22:07.000 Okay, so we can't.
00:22:09.000 So what am I talking about now?
00:22:11.000 Whether it's Trump at the UN talking to CNN or Andy Burnham.
00:22:16.000 Trying to offer solutions for global problems, the political models themselves are dead.
00:22:23.000 Thankfully, people like Danny Dyer are willing to put their head above the parapet and their neck on the chopping block.
00:22:30.000 Am I using the correct anatomical parts?
00:22:32.000 I can't remember anymore.
00:22:33.000 Wait a minute.
00:22:34.000 Is it the heads above the parapet, the necks on the chopping block, and the penis is castrated?
00:22:38.000 In fact, one of the only jokes in the Bible is when Paul is saying, like, hey, them people that are saying you should get circumcised, why don't they go the whole hog and chop off the whole cock?
00:22:47.000 Paul does that joke.
00:22:48.000 Paul does that joke.
00:22:48.000 So take it up with St. Paul.
00:22:51.000 So, my opinion is this Worship no gods but him.
00:22:55.000 And he is present in the moment.
00:22:58.000 And the moment is now.
00:22:59.000 But that's just what I think.
00:23:00.000 Let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
00:23:03.000 We can't make this content without the support of our partners.
00:23:06.000 Here's a message from one now.

00:24:24.000 Now it's time for me to interview my friends, Chris and Jackie Laidlaw.
00:24:27.000 You might not know who they are.
00:24:29.000 So here's a short video that will help you conceptualize them in your consciousness.
00:24:32.000 We talk about gentle parenting because that's currently what we're working on.
00:24:36.000 We're not like these perfect parents that never yell, never get triggered.
00:24:40.000 We're aware of what's going on and then we post about it because we've made it through these, you know.
00:24:46.000 But that also gives our kids the capability to see that we're not perfect either.
00:24:50.000 Right.
00:24:50.000 And you go to apologize to them.
00:24:52.000 And a lot of the things I think with parents is they're like, I'm not going to apologize to my six year old.
00:24:57.000 Why not, dude?
00:24:57.000 Like, why not just go say sorry for the way you were acting?
00:25:00.000 Hey, please welcome my friends, Chris and Jackie.
00:25:06.000 Yeah, we're here now.
00:25:07.000 We've come to sit at this bar.
00:25:09.000 Chris, Jackie, you're my friends from Hot Hot Yoga.
00:25:11.000 It's nice to see you.
00:25:13.000 Fully dressed.
00:25:14.000 It's nice to see you not in the shower together.
00:25:16.000 But it's good also that you've chosen not to wear any trousers or underpants.
00:25:20.000 That's below the bar.
00:25:21.000 Chris is completely naked.
00:25:22.000 I assure you of that.
00:25:23.000 Half commando.
00:25:24.000 That was the condition of interviewing Chris.
00:25:26.000 And Jackie, it's lovely to see you as well.
00:25:29.000 Thank you so much for having us.
00:25:30.000 So the two of you have written this book, Exploring Marriage and Relationships and Emotional Sobriety.
00:25:35.000 Tell me, firstly, what you first of all want me to understand about that.
00:25:42.000 Because You know, it's your book.
00:25:44.000 I don't know everything.
00:25:45.000 There's a lot of information in there, but basically the gist.
00:25:48.000 You got a nice voice.
00:25:49.000 Oh, why thank you?
00:25:51.000 Give us the book, then I can hold it up.
00:25:53.000 Sorry, I made you a little bundle because I also wrote two children's books.
00:25:57.000 Thanks.
00:25:57.000 Those were birthed from our, you know, we were breaking our codependency, our authoritarian parenting style.
00:26:04.000 We realized that control is not love, that love is love.
00:26:08.000 And instead of controlling each other, we decided to look in the mirror and begin to self reflect.
00:26:13.000 How do you, all right, firstly, I want you to tell me what does codependency mean?
00:26:16.000 And what do you mean, authoritarian parent style?
00:26:18.000 Because I've got three children, and sometimes, like, this is how I'm parenting.
00:26:22.000 Sometimes, listen, I'm going crazy.
00:26:26.000 If you don't listen to me, I don't know what I'm going to do.
00:26:28.000 So, participate.
00:26:31.000 So, tell me what you're doing.
00:26:33.000 Exactly that.
00:26:34.000 I will say, like, do not picture this, like, peaceful all the time home at all.
00:26:39.000 We are a neuro spicy family.
00:26:40.000 We all have ADHD.
00:26:42.000 We all have our things.
00:26:44.000 We all get triggered, and we have a mantra that your triggers are your responsibility.
00:26:49.000 And knowing your partner's trauma is a love language.
00:26:52.000 So it's you do the work, and I know that, you know, don't step on that landmine.
00:26:57.000 It's going to make them explode.
00:26:59.000 Not walking on eggshells by any means, but understanding your partner on a much deeper level.
00:27:04.000 But when it comes to parenting, so I was raised authoritarian.
00:27:08.000 My parents control me.
00:27:09.000 That's how I, you know, and then I go into the world and I have no self control because I was used to everyone controlling me.
00:27:16.000 Went down a dark road, drank heavily for about 12.
00:27:18.000 15 years around there.
00:27:20.000 Oh, you've done a bit of the old drinking down the dark road.
00:27:22.000 Yeah, it was.
00:27:23.000 For 12 to 15 years.
00:27:24.000 Yeah.
00:27:25.000 That's a nice lot of drinking.
00:27:26.000 Ironically, the exact same amount of time I was in school.
00:27:29.000 I wrote you down what to cope with school you got drunk.
00:27:31.000 You cope with all the school.
00:27:32.000 Good system.
00:27:33.000 Now, Jackie, your wife there, just said that one of the things is knowing about trauma in order not to, I guess you said the phrase triggering her, but I guess that means generate conflict.
00:27:45.000 How do you do that, mate?
00:27:47.000 How are you aware of Jackie's trauma?
00:27:49.000 What is your trauma and what do you mean by triggered?
00:27:52.000 Well, I don't know if trauma is a strong word.
00:27:56.000 I would say more like drama, if anything.
00:28:00.000 I brought a lot of drama to the table.
00:28:01.000 And at some point in my life, I was not where I thought I was going to be.
00:28:05.000 And I masked that with tons and tons and copious amounts of alcohol and other fun substances.
00:28:11.000 But at one point, I looked up and when Jackie and I got sober from alcohol, we didn't have anything to mask all that anymore.
00:28:18.000 And then it was like, oh, well, shit, now we got to get sober from our emotions, which is a lot more difficult.
00:28:24.000 And.
00:28:25.000 We went back and forth with the comparison role, especially in parenting.
00:28:29.000 Like, I'm doing this, so you need to do that, and I'm doing that, and you need to do that.
00:28:32.000 Instead of just seeing that she's doing the best she can, and that's in some avenues, that's not, I'm better at her than other things.
00:28:40.000 And she is what taking the trash out, doing the hard things, all the heavy lifting, all the heavy lifting.
00:28:46.000 That's it, that's your job, lift stuff up, lift up, pick up.
00:28:49.000 Jackie's doing everything else, doing the emotional lifting.
00:28:52.000 That's my house as well.
00:28:53.000 That's all I'm able to do.
00:28:55.000 The trash, get the trash, yes, trash, dishes, whatever I need.
00:29:00.000 You're doing dishes, he's the dish bitch.
00:29:02.000 I clock in.
00:29:04.000 I clock in.
00:29:04.000 Well done, man.
00:29:05.000 Well done.
00:29:06.000 This all comes back to a sober, ADHD couples guide to a healthy and intimate marriage.
00:29:11.000 Yes, I understand.
00:29:12.000 The intimacy is where a lot of this comes in.
00:29:15.000 Do you mean sexual intimacy?
00:29:17.000 Are you talking about sex?
00:29:18.000 We want couples to have more sex.
00:29:21.000 Sexual intimacy, but presumably other kinds of intimacy also, I suppose.
00:29:25.000 Well, that's actually, yeah.
00:29:26.000 Go ahead, the connection part.
00:29:28.000 So, one of the things we realize is that women need connection for sex, men need sex for connection.
00:29:34.000 And I go through a whole.
00:29:35.000 Chapter about it, and at the end, it's like which one which came first?
00:29:38.000 Don't laugh, grow up, all right?
00:29:43.000 Like, what?
00:29:44.000 So, yeah, we're, yeah.
00:29:44.000 I was just because I'm trying to, while you're talking, I'm trying to think of how this applies to literally to me and my life.
00:29:50.000 That's how I get through the day, actually.
00:29:52.000 I love it with every single thing that's happening.
00:29:53.000 Does this affect me?
00:29:54.000 Does this affect me?
00:29:55.000 How does this affect me?
00:29:56.000 How can I relate to this?
00:29:57.000 So, like, and so you're saying then that for women, sex is intimacy is a requirement prior, and for men.
00:30:08.000 They need the sex to establish the intimacy.
00:30:09.000 They don't care where they are.
00:30:10.000 Well, that's a conundrum.
00:30:12.000 Like she said earlier, what comes first?
00:30:14.000 You know, the chicken or the egg kind of thing.
00:30:15.000 So somebody's got to break.
00:30:16.000 And as corny as it sounds, it was a moment for me and Jackie, like in Avatar, where they're like, I see you.
00:30:23.000 Oh, those guys in Avatar.
00:30:24.000 Yeah, well, it was the same thing.
00:30:25.000 Where they plug their towels in the horse's butt.
00:30:27.000 Those guys.
00:30:28.000 We did the same thing.
00:30:29.000 You plug your tails in a horse's butt!
00:30:32.000 No, but.
00:30:32.000 You need to be able to see each other correctly.
00:30:34.000 Exactly.
00:30:35.000 We were in the middle of an argument, and she completely disarmed me with the.
00:30:39.000 How?
00:30:40.000 With the, she was like, Oh, I see that.
00:30:42.000 I can see your perspective.
00:30:43.000 I'm sorry that you feel that way.
00:30:44.000 I was raised.
00:30:45.000 I was like, What's happening?
00:30:47.000 I was raised by a pretty narcissistic dad.
00:30:49.000 I love him very much.
00:30:50.000 But he's a narcissist.
00:30:52.000 Actually, I now look at him through the lens of autism, and it's healed a lot of our relationship because a lot of his stuff was.
00:30:58.000 Once you know people are autistic, life's easier, innit?
00:31:02.000 You have a lot of empathy.
00:31:04.000 Makes sense.
00:31:04.000 Lots of things made sense.
00:31:06.000 Oh, these fuckers are autistic.
00:31:07.000 All right, carry on.
00:31:10.000 Go sort your.
00:31:10.000 Go sort your coins out into little pots.
00:31:12.000 These are my people.
00:31:14.000 I'm on the spectrum.
00:31:15.000 Right.
00:31:16.000 Yeah.
00:31:16.000 We're Audi HD.
00:31:18.000 But I was able to release him from all of this pain that I had because I could see my dad for the first time through his struggles.
00:31:27.000 But being raised by a narcissist, I thought that his perspective was the only perspective.
00:31:32.000 And in yoga and all my stripping away of my ego, I learned, oh shit, everyone has a perspective.
00:31:40.000 Like, oh my God, I haven't been even thinking about my husband.
00:31:43.000 We were in couples therapy.
00:31:45.000 After sobriety, trying to figure out our mess, and I remember like needing the therapist to validate his perspective because I'm like, This is an idiot, what are you talking?
00:31:55.000 And I needed to be able to mirror her ability to validate him.
00:31:59.000 And I'm like, Oh, well, I guess I can see that.
00:32:02.000 Oh, everyone has a perspective, and based on your own trauma, he's still figuring out his trauma.
00:32:06.000 Chris, you mean, yes, yeah, he's a wreck.
00:32:09.000 He's a wreck, not really quite sure what his trauma is, what's going on with him.
00:32:14.000 I know, right.
00:32:15.000 I do yoga with this person.
00:32:17.000 I look over him.
00:32:18.000 I think, nah, there's no hope for him.
00:32:20.000 Sometimes I think of asking him to just get out.
00:32:23.000 Right, just go take a break.
00:32:24.000 Wasting everybody's time, even trying.
00:32:26.000 So, like, no, so the okay, so I understand we have to intimately see one another and recognize that there are competing perspectives, even with an intimate unit such as a family.
00:32:36.000 Seemed that Jackie was talking about the subject of forgiveness there for a minute, Chris.
00:32:40.000 Have you been able to achieve the level of free forgiveness that appears to be a prerequisite for embarking on a healthy relationship with your spouse?
00:32:48.000 Forgiveness for her, yes.
00:32:49.000 Forgiving Jackie, yeah, even for what she was just saying there.
00:32:52.000 I think she said, let's move on, let's let that go.
00:32:55.000 Give me some intimacy later.
00:32:56.000 Move on.
00:32:57.000 Yeah, that's it.
00:32:58.000 Pick your battles, brother.
00:32:59.000 That's an intimacy token.
00:33:00.000 Yeah, pick your battles.
00:33:02.000 But as far as forgiving myself for things, that's what I struggle with.
00:33:05.000 How can we forgive ourselves?
00:33:07.000 What do you mean by that?
00:33:08.000 Just being okay with how you've gotten to where you are and going back and realizing that all this journey, all the bullshit, no matter what you've been done or been down, what road you've been down or what you've been through, has ultimately carved this specimen that you are.
00:33:26.000 And you can either be happy with that and know that that's what God's intended for you, or you can try and fight it.
00:33:30.000 And a lot of the times I still try and fight it.
00:33:33.000 I live in fight or flight.
00:33:34.000 It's difficult for me.
00:33:35.000 I get to yoga and I can finally breathe for a second because there's no, you got to figure out a way to get through this thing.
00:33:41.000 And it lets you kind of strip down all your stuff.
00:33:43.000 And I don't know how many times I just want to write.
00:33:45.000 And it's usually about parenting.
00:33:46.000 Like, why am I such a dick?
00:33:48.000 That's normally what I write in a lot of yoga classes.
00:33:51.000 You're a catastrophizer.
00:33:52.000 Oh, because you were this or because you were that.
00:33:53.000 Like, just chill out, Chris.
00:33:55.000 Is 90% of my yoga classes that conversation with myself.
00:34:00.000 When I'm doing yoga now, I just try to pay attention to what the teacher is saying.
00:34:05.000 And to the breath.
00:34:06.000 That's what I do.
00:34:08.000 I try to pay attention and I try to let go of the body and regard the body as merely the first layer of an external and material illusion in which I am a participant.
00:34:22.000 I can do it in that environment.
00:34:25.000 It's harder to continue the yoga, the yoking, the walk with Christ, allowing Him to lead me when the stimulant is raised from hot environment and bodies.
00:34:36.000 You know, there's more women in there, huh?
00:34:38.000 So, I don't like for me, it's like, don't get involved in bodies.
00:34:41.000 Don't get involved in bodies.
00:34:43.000 Be in the present moment.
00:34:45.000 Don't get involved in your body or their body.
00:34:47.000 Allow your body just to, you know, but that I can do that now.
00:34:51.000 What I find.
00:34:52.000 Yeah, at least five years to be able to, like, oh, no one else exists.
00:34:55.000 This is me and God in here.
00:34:57.000 Yes.
00:34:58.000 Indeed.
00:34:59.000 Me and God everywhere, all the time, always.
00:35:02.000 Absolutely.
00:35:02.000 He said, Yogananda or his teacher said to him when he was saying, when he looked into the eyes of his teacher, I feel the same way as when I looked at my mother, and his teacher says, You thought those were your mother's eyes?
00:35:16.000 That the endless intimacy continues always.
00:35:19.000 The source, the father, Abba, our friend Christian Astis, would say, Abba, he's it.
00:35:24.000 We're talking to Christian Astis later, straight out of Bethlehem.
00:35:27.000 Bethlehem, I think that's how you say it.
00:35:28.000 I mean, if I'm going to be a Christian, I should probably learn how to say the word Bethlehem, which is a word you learn literally when you're still wearing tea towels to play an Arab dad.
00:35:37.000 You know, that's what we did at our school.
00:35:40.000 I don't know what went on at your school.
00:35:42.000 Well, listen, you two, thank you very much for coming here.
00:35:45.000 Mirror Me is available.
00:35:45.000 There's a link in the description.
00:35:47.000 Now, what I like is that you have really acknowledged the fallibility of yourselves and of your marriage.
00:35:53.000 And I don't like it when books that are, I don't know, self help or help books seem like they're written from people that are inaccessible and are not candid about their daddy's marriage.
00:36:05.000 Oh, no, we expose everything.
00:36:06.000 My book's all stories about how we just went through some shit, man, and how we probably should have handled it differently, how we handled it in that moment.
00:36:12.000 And hopefully.
00:36:13.000 If one story in there relates with somebody and they can figure out a path to what we have now, then it's worth every penny.
00:36:19.000 Yeah, if you're a person that's in recovery from drugs and alcohol and you're interested in learning more about codependency and how you can use those principles in your family, please look at Mirror Me by my friends Jackie and Chris Laidlaw.
00:36:30.000 Okay, we can't make this go.
00:36:32.000 Please, a round of applause for them, our beloved friends in the audience.
00:36:37.000 Hey, Mertz, show that wall.
00:36:39.000 Isn't it a shame that we didn't?
00:36:40.000 We should have maybe stood in front of Mertz.
00:36:42.000 Show that wall, right?
00:36:42.000 Because isn't that nice, that wall?
00:36:44.000 It's pretty cool, Griffin.
00:36:45.000 It's a nice wall, man.
00:36:46.000 Is it cinematic that we're sober people at a bar?
00:36:49.000 Cinematic.
00:36:50.000 Yeah, we're a better paradox, Chris.
00:36:52.000 It's a visual paradox.
00:36:54.000 We're in a visual paradox.
00:36:55.000 We can't make this content without visual paradoxes or without the support of our financial partners.
00:37:00.000 Here's a message from one now, is it, Jake?
00:37:02.000 Someone asked me the other day, how do you get a sense of what's going to happen next?
00:37:05.000 I told them, I simply look out the window.
00:37:07.000 But if that doesn't work, poly market.
00:37:09.000 I check it out, it's extremely insightful.
00:37:11.000 Basically, you're watching how thousands of people are betting on outcomes, political elections, big policy moves, even events you wouldn't expect.
00:37:20.000 Actually, believe you can see trends before they hit mainstream news.
00:37:24.000 For me, it's not about gambling, I don't like gambling.
00:37:27.000 It's about understanding the probabilities and where the momentum is shifting.
00:37:30.000 If you like following the news but want a deeper look at what people really think, it's a fascinating tool.
00:37:34.000 Check out polymarket.com now.
00:37:36.000 That's right, polymarket.com now.
00:37:38.000 Have a look.
00:37:38.000 Hey, welcome back.
00:37:39.000 Um, do you know that I do a podcast with my wife, Laura Brand?
00:37:42.000 It's called Sunday Service, and it doesn't matter how many times I call it Sunday Supplement, the name of it is Sunday Service.
00:37:48.000 We're pretty pleased with it.
00:37:49.000 Jackie and Chris seem to be making something of their marriage.
00:37:52.000 In a minute, I'm going to be back talking to bona fide, brilliant hero and great man, Andrew Wakefield.
00:37:57.000 But before that, here's a look at my podcast with my wife, Sunday Service.
00:38:08.000 And you know the famous phrase, no atheists on a sinking ship.
00:38:13.000 Once you're confronted with, oh, wow, the ship's not going where we thought it was going, we're actually going to die.
00:38:19.000 Suddenly you start to reach for a different reality because it's no longer a comfort to you that there are fresh towels and a buffet.
00:38:30.000 The comfort of the boat is no longer sufficient.
00:38:34.000 So some of us, alcoholics, drug addicts, Crazed, shamanic, priestly, wilderness wanderers have always had a sense that the world isn't working.
00:38:47.000 We're in exile here.
00:38:48.000 This doesn't work.
00:38:49.000 There's something wrong.
00:38:50.000 And you try to, I've tried to defibrillate and stimulate some sort of sanctifying and holy pleasure out of inert material.
00:38:58.000 Can drugs, can sex, can fame, can money, can any of these things somehow be sacralized, divinized, turned into something valuable?
00:39:06.000 And the answer is, of course, no, they cannot.
00:39:09.000 Hey, thank you.
00:39:10.000 Hey, you lot.
00:39:11.000 This is a real honor for me.
00:39:13.000 You might not know about Dr. Andrew Wakefield unless you've been paying close attention to the evolution of arguments around, for example, vaccines, autism, MMR jabs, gain of function technology, COVID, pandemic.
00:39:28.000 If you've not been paying attention to the various plays of a set of institutions that use a variety of techniques to ensure control at all costs, earlier in the show, we talked about codependency in a marital environment.
00:39:42.000 But have you not noticed that these systems of codependency are at play at scale?
00:39:47.000 And in the same way that we would acknowledge that the CIA would create a cast of 30, 50, 100 people to surround an individual in order to solicit and obtain a piece of information, the world at large has generalized systems of control, and all of us are in it.
00:40:06.000 We're all being given false information.
00:40:08.000 We are all witnessing heroic individuals being desecrated.
00:40:13.000 And slandered, libelled, and destroyed if they dare to speak out against the system.
00:40:18.000 If you don't understand Dr. Andrew Wakefield yet, here's a short clip to help you conceptualise him in your mind.
00:40:25.000 Absolutely extraordinary that the nation's public health objectives usurp whatever may happen to the nation's children in order to pursue the government policies.
00:40:43.000 Please, a round of applause for Dr. Andrew Wakefield.
00:40:51.000 Well, Dr. Andrew Wakefield, before I really knew what the challenges were around autism and vaccines and connections between the two, I'd heard of you.
00:41:06.000 When we briefly spoke, you told me this has been a 35 year journey for you.
00:41:12.000 Some people in our audience may be unfamiliar with you.
00:41:15.000 So, would you please tell us and me, because I'd like to hear it again.
00:41:19.000 The story about how you first came to be at odds with a medical establishment that you had up until that point been a part of.
00:41:29.000 Sure, Russell.
00:41:30.000 Thanks for having me on.
00:41:31.000 I was absolutely mainstream.
00:41:33.000 I was one of six generations of my family trained at the same medical school, St. Mary's in London.
00:41:38.000 So medicine was in our blood.
00:41:41.000 And I was a senior academic at the Royal Free Hospital in London, and I was looking at inflammatory bowel disease.
00:41:50.000 As an interest in Crohn's colitis.
00:41:53.000 And I got a call from a mother.
00:41:55.000 In fact, many mothers followed.
00:41:56.000 And she said, Dr. Wakefield, my child was perfectly fine, absolutely normal.
00:42:01.000 They had speech and language interaction with their siblings.
00:42:04.000 Then they had their MMR vaccine and it virtually disappeared overnight.
00:42:08.000 The light in their eyes went out and they were ultimately diagnosed with autism.
00:42:12.000 That's the MMR vaccine.
00:42:14.000 That's measles, mumps, rubella.
00:42:15.000 And in our country, that's general and standard.
00:42:18.000 And is that general and standard in the United States?
00:42:19.000 It is, absolutely.
00:42:21.000 I see.
00:42:21.000 And sorry I interrupted you.
00:42:22.000 The lights went out.
00:42:23.000 Not at all.
00:42:24.000 So they said my child was diagnosed with autism.
00:42:27.000 And I said, I'm terribly sorry.
00:42:28.000 You must have got the wrong number.
00:42:30.000 I'm a gastroenterologist.
00:42:31.000 I know nothing about autism.
00:42:32.000 When I was at medical school, we weren't even taught about it, it was so rare.
00:42:37.000 And so they said, No, the reason I'm calling you, Dr. Wakefield, is my child has intractable gastrointestinal problems, alternating constipation, diarrhea, failure to thrive.
00:42:47.000 I know they're in pain.
00:42:48.000 They've lost the ability to speak, but they're my child, and I know they're in pain.
00:42:53.000 And the first rule of clinical medicine, Russell, is to listen to the patient, or in this case, the patient's parents, because they will give you the clues as to where you go clinically.
00:43:03.000 And medicines fail to do that, certainly in the case of autism.
00:43:07.000 And so I got.
00:43:08.000 Together, a team of very eminent people, gastroenterologists and others, psychiatrists, neurologists, and we investigated these children.
00:43:16.000 And lo and behold, the parents were absolutely right.
00:43:18.000 The children had an inflammatory bowel disease.
00:43:21.000 And when the fascinating thing was, when we treated the inflammatory bowel disease with anti inflammatories diet, not only did that improve, but their speech came back.
00:43:31.000 They started using words they hadn't used for five years.
00:43:34.000 It was like Lorenzo's Oil, if your audience remember that film.
00:43:37.000 It was an extraordinary thing.
00:43:39.000 We thought that didn't happen.
00:43:40.000 So we did it 180 times and it happened virtually every time.
00:43:45.000 And so I then went ahead and I said, This needs to be published.
00:43:49.000 We need to do this.
00:43:50.000 This needs to get out there.
00:43:52.000 We are not coming to any conclusions, but what we need to do is to stimulate research into this to determine whether, for some children, this vaccine is causing problems.
00:44:02.000 Why was it.
00:44:03.000 I see.
00:44:04.000 So please use the mic directionally as well, Doctor.
00:44:06.000 Sure.
00:44:06.000 You would like that.
00:44:08.000 That way.
00:44:08.000 Thank you.
00:44:08.000 Right.
00:44:09.000 Yes.
00:44:09.000 Thank you.
00:44:11.000 The ways I would usually explain that are disgusting.
00:44:13.000 But I'm going to use it anyway.
00:44:15.000 No, I'm not going to use it.
00:44:16.000 So, like, doctor, what I want to say is okay, so the intestinal inflammation occurred post the MMR jab, and the autism diagnosis was concomitant with it.
00:44:29.000 So, like, and I noticed that you, at the time, you pursued the matter in an entirely scientific manner.
00:44:35.000 You made no assumptions.
00:44:37.000 You didn't engage in conjecture.
00:44:38.000 You noticed that it happened, it was repeatable a hundred times.
00:44:41.000 That's what you've told me so far.
00:44:42.000 But me, as just an observer, it's.
00:44:45.000 Already indicates some peculiar connection between gut health and behavior and cerebral capacity, does it?
00:44:54.000 Absolutely.
00:44:54.000 And we were familiar with this as gastroenterologists.
00:44:58.000 I worked on a liver unit.
00:44:59.000 When your liver fails, you start to become what's called encephalopathic.
00:45:03.000 You can't join up dots on a page.
00:45:06.000 Your mind goes, your cognitive abilities go, your short term memory goes.
00:45:10.000 So this gut brain link was there all the time.
00:45:13.000 We're one body, we're not separate organs operating in isolation.
00:45:18.000 And so, when, and there was proof of it.
00:45:21.000 And so we looked at this, and the dean called me in.
00:45:23.000 I remember that, Barry Zuckerman, the dean called me in.
00:45:25.000 At St. Mary's.
00:45:26.000 No, at the Royal Free.
00:45:27.000 At the Royal Free.
00:45:28.000 And he said to me, if you continue this vaccine safety research, it will not be good for your career.
00:45:36.000 I call this the Corleone censorship, okay?
00:45:40.000 We know where your family, we know where your children go to school.
00:45:44.000 So, you know, this is the kind of thing.
00:45:45.000 And I was so obstinate and so determined that.
00:45:50.000 The parents' story should be investigated.
00:45:52.000 I just worked twice as hard, and he was absolutely right, Russell.
00:45:55.000 It wasn't good for my career.
00:45:56.000 No.
00:45:57.000 So at that point, did you even consider vaccine research to be a controversial endeavour?
00:46:03.000 Was it plain at that point?
00:46:05.000 Because what year was this?
00:46:07.000 The answer is yeah, this was 1995, 1996, 1996.
00:46:13.000 I decided if I'm going to get involved in this, I have to do the background research.
00:46:18.000 What's the safety profile of measles containing vaccines like MMR?
00:46:21.000 What research has been done before they're put onto the market and into children?
00:46:26.000 And I wrote a 250 page report on it for myself, my own edification.
00:46:31.000 And I couldn't find the science.
00:46:34.000 I couldn't find the.
00:46:35.000 I said to the experts at the Department of Health, Where is the science?
00:46:39.000 I'm doing you a disservice because I haven't found it that says MMR is as safe as the single vaccine is safe at all.
00:46:47.000 And when I realized what they'd done, they'd conducted many of the early studies in institutions for children with brain damage.
00:46:54.000 They were experimental models.
00:46:56.000 This is the way that they had done this, both in the States and in the UK.
00:47:01.000 And they had made some serious assumptions, which they were not entitled to make.
00:47:06.000 When you're going to give something to every child in the country from that point forward, You better be damn sure that it's safe.
00:47:12.000 And they hadn't done that.
00:47:13.000 And now the CDC and even Fauci have admitted it wasn't done.
00:47:18.000 So, your first red flag, in a way, was when you looked for clinical data that undergirded the assumption that MMR vaccines were safe, you found that it was insufficient and sparse research was being relied upon.
00:47:28.000 They weren't like, oh, there's this raft of double blind procedures, there's this study here that demonstrates its safety.
00:47:34.000 And I remember, I suppose, myself, my own rather dilettante ish awareness of the subject in which you are a veteran and an expert is.
00:47:44.000 When COVID was first happening, I just thought, who have they done clinical?
00:47:50.000 Who are the pregnant women that are volunteering for trial on this vaccine?
00:47:54.000 Just stuff like that, just little questions like that occurred to me.
00:47:57.000 So, okay, so when you conducted clinical trials, who did you partner with?
00:48:01.000 And when did you first become aware, other than that Dean's intervention, that your clinical research was going to be a problem?
00:48:09.000 And why didn't you create a piece of research that demonstrated a causal link?
00:48:13.000 And what happened to that research?
00:48:15.000 Well, it's an interesting story and it goes over many years.
00:48:19.000 I teamed up with a guy called John O'Leary who was at Cornell.
00:48:22.000 John O'Leary is a molecular pathologist.
00:48:24.000 He's an expert in detection of viruses in human tissues.
00:48:29.000 And I went to his group at Cornell and I presented all of our data.
00:48:33.000 And I said, John, would you help look at this?
00:48:36.000 Would you see if you can find measles virus in diseased tissues from these patients?
00:48:41.000 And he said, Sure, it sounds like a good idea.
00:48:44.000 And he did that.
00:48:44.000 We sent him blinded samples.
00:48:46.000 So, samples that came from children with autism and bowel disease and children.
00:48:51.000 Who had no problems at all, no autism, no bowel disease.
00:48:54.000 The biopsy was normal.
00:48:56.000 We sent those tissues coded.
00:48:58.000 He had no idea which was which.
00:49:00.000 He did the analysis and then we broke the code together.
00:49:03.000 And a very high proportion of those children with autism had measles virus consistent with the vaccine strain in their intestine, very few of the controls.
00:49:14.000 That was really interesting and it presented a major problem for the vaccine manufacturers who were undergoing litigation in the UK at the time.
00:49:23.000 So, the next thing that happened.
00:49:24.000 What was the litigation?
00:49:25.000 I didn't know that.
00:49:26.000 Oh, yeah, there was MMR litigation for.
00:49:28.000 There was extant litigation into vaccines at the time, so there was a sort of a vested interest in ensuring that this research already was, I don't know, repressed or at least undermined.
00:49:38.000 That is exactly what happened, because I then got into a collaboration not just with John O'Leary, but with an expert, a measles expert from the La Jolla Clinic, from the Scripps Institute.
00:49:52.000 And.
00:49:53.000 With his job, he had created a rodent model of measles infection.
00:49:58.000 Measles is a human virus, and so he'd encoded the human measles receptor into the blood vessels of these animals so they would get infected with measles.
00:50:08.000 So his job was to take samples, infect these animals, send the samples to John O'Leary in Dublin, who did not know where they came from, whether they came from controls or actively infected animals, and to analyze them.
00:50:24.000 Then we'd break the code.
00:50:26.000 Well, this was going on fine.
00:50:28.000 I thought nothing of it until I went to testify before the Government Oversight Committee.
00:50:33.000 In Congress about this whole subject.
00:50:36.000 You testified in the US as well.
00:50:37.000 In the US.
00:50:38.000 I was testifying in the US.
00:50:40.000 And at that, there was a doctor there, Michael Gershon, a gastroenterologist from New York.
00:50:45.000 He got up and he presented results from our study.
00:50:49.000 I didn't even know the results myself.
00:50:51.000 I didn't know the study was finished.
00:50:53.000 He got up and, in front of the world's press, in front of the American government, he presented the results of our study and he said, It has been found that this is all contamination.
00:51:03.000 It has no merit whatsoever.
00:51:05.000 And therefore, John O'Leary's laboratory can't be trusted.
00:51:07.000 In other words, it killed the data dead.
00:51:11.000 Now, I was flabbergasted.
00:51:14.000 This is not the way scientists behave unless there's an agenda.
00:51:18.000 Years later, the General Medical Council took away my license.
00:51:21.000 And in doing so, the professor of medicine from the Royal Free testified as a witness.
00:51:31.000 And one day, he called me, before all this happened, he called me into his office.
00:51:35.000 Office and he said, I don't like the research you're doing.
00:51:37.000 I said, That's really interesting, Professor Pep is.
00:51:40.000 What research have you read?
00:51:41.000 He said, I don't need to.
00:51:43.000 Oh, you don't need to research it, you don't need to read it, but you don't like it?
00:51:47.000 Okay.
00:51:48.000 And he said, What collaborations do you have with people abroad and, you know, elsewhere in the world?
00:51:53.000 And I told him about this collaboration with Oldstone.
00:51:55.000 He said, I know Oldstone, I'll give him a call.
00:51:57.000 I thought, That's not good news.
00:52:00.000 Anyway, then the research was killed, it was absolutely killed dead.
00:52:05.000 The Oldstone.
00:52:06.000 Said this is all fraud and it's finished, and it was a mayhem.
00:52:09.000 I didn't understand what was going on until years later.
00:52:14.000 I was given access to all of the background information to Professor Pepe's, my professor of medicine's attack on me.
00:52:26.000 Email correspondence.
00:52:27.000 Was that through legal discovery?
00:52:28.000 Through legal discovery.
00:52:29.000 Through legal discovery.
00:52:29.000 Through legal discovery.
00:52:30.000 Through access to files that had previously been undisclosed.
00:52:32.000 And this is a wonderful story because in there it said there was an email from.
00:52:40.000 Michael Oldstone to Mark Pepys saying, Dear Mark, this is going to cost you two pictures.
00:52:46.000 Now, Mark Pepys' mother was an artist of some renown, and she'd done these two nudes that Dr. Oldstone had always coveted.
00:52:55.000 So he said, This is going to cost you two pictures.
00:52:59.000 Years later, when I'd been destroyed, my license had been taken away, the research had been sabotaged, is an email now from Mark Pepys to Michael Oldstone saying, Dear Michael, when are you coming to London?
00:53:13.000 Your pictures await you.
00:53:15.000 In other words, what we have here is a bribe that was entered into by two senior academics to sabotage this research.
00:53:26.000 And the deal that was done was the exchange of these two pictures.
00:53:30.000 And then I suddenly realized just how dark, how deep this goes, how we never stood a chance.
00:53:39.000 The science never stood a chance.
00:53:41.000 The children.
00:53:42.000 Never stood a chance from the beginning.
00:53:44.000 Their interest was not to protect the children of the world, it was to preserve the status quo.
00:53:52.000 And it just happened that Mark Pepys had a major commercial interest with GlaxoSmithKline, who were the biggest manufacturer of the MMR vaccine in Europe.
00:54:04.000 I don't know why you'd even mention that, because that seems highly irrelevant.
00:54:12.000 What was I thinking?
00:54:13.000 I don't see that there's a connection between GlaxoSmithKline and their commercial enterprise and this.
00:54:22.000 Attempt to destroy your reputation.
00:54:24.000 What fascinates me about it is how it, in the end, comes down to human beings making human decisions and showing human failings covetousness, a willingness to be bribed, an unwillingness to pursue lines of inquiry and truth that are detrimental to your personal benefit.
00:54:44.000 You know, we all know what heroism is.
00:54:46.000 Heroism means when you're willing to sacrifice yourself and your own interest to a higher ideal.
00:54:52.000 How interesting that we live in a culture that tells you.
00:54:54.000 There is no higher ideal that actually practices as normal the satanic idea that do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.
00:55:06.000 That there is no higher purpose, no higher reason than the fulfillment of your own personal pleasure.
00:55:13.000 I've known somehow eerily, in fact, Dr. Andrew Wakefield, that you were a hero for some time.
00:55:20.000 I knew that you'd made a sacrifice.
00:55:21.000 And when I asked you before, how is it that you've endured it and how have you not committed suicide?
00:55:28.000 Well, tell us again.
00:55:29.000 Why haven't you committed suicide?
00:55:30.000 Because I know how much pressure it is.
00:55:32.000 Not that I'm suggesting or anything.
00:55:33.000 It has been suggested.
00:55:36.000 Why don't you?
00:55:37.000 Why don't you?
00:55:37.000 Fucking kill yourself.
00:55:39.000 How did you not?
00:55:40.000 How did you not?
00:55:41.000 Well, you know, I came to the realization, Russell, that this wasn't about me.
00:55:47.000 If you spend your life.
00:55:48.000 That's where I'm going wrong.
00:55:49.000 Right, write that down.
00:55:50.000 If you spend your life seeking revenge, retribution, justification, I want to restore my reputation.
00:55:58.000 Then you're just going to be banging your head against a brick wall.
00:56:01.000 I had a constituency, and that was these damaged children.
00:56:06.000 And that's what this was about.
00:56:07.000 This wasn't about me.
00:56:08.000 They made it look like it was about me.
00:56:09.000 They dressed it up as he's a bad guy and he did this and that.
00:56:13.000 But it wasn't about me.
00:56:14.000 It was about these children.
00:56:16.000 And it was a matter of I could walk away.
00:56:18.000 I could say to the mother in the clinic whose child is running around the room, banging his head against the wall and screaming and non verbal, I could say to her, I know you're right.
00:56:27.000 And what you say has merit and needs investigation, but this is not good for my career.
00:56:30.000 So there's the door.
00:56:32.000 Would you mind taking a child and leave?
00:56:34.000 I couldn't do that.
00:56:35.000 It's not in my nature.
00:56:36.000 It's not because I'm clever or a hero.
00:56:38.000 It's not because I'm brave.
00:56:39.000 It's just because that was the way I was raised to practice medicine.
00:56:43.000 I see.
00:56:43.000 The patient comes first before anything else.
00:56:46.000 That's it.
00:56:47.000 It's not difficult.
00:56:47.000 Very simple.
00:56:48.000 Thank you for that pathological accent.
00:56:50.000 Round of applause for the great Dr. Andrew Wakefield.
00:56:55.000 Hey, you will have seen our full interview with Dr. Andrew Wakefield on the show that you watched on Wednesday.
00:57:02.000 Right.
00:57:03.000 So, guys, listen, this is time for us to wrap up our show and try not to reflect.
00:57:07.000 Too much on the number of children whose lives would have been improved and maybe even saved if the scientific studies that Dr. Andrew Wakefield was pursuing in the mid 90s had been taken to their natural conclusion.
00:57:16.000 And the evident criminality of the people that impeded and prevented those investigations and trials from reaching their happy conclusions are evidently criminals.
00:57:25.000 Thank God there's been nothing even remotely comparable practiced on a global stage in the last.
00:57:31.000 Oh no!
00:57:32.000 We're living in a terrifying matrix!
00:57:35.000 Quick!
00:57:36.000 Wake up!
00:57:36.000 Wake up!
00:57:37.000 For heaven's sake, wake up!
00:57:39.000 Thanks, Dr. Andrew Wakefield.
00:57:40.000 We'll be back next time, not with more of the same, but with more of the different.
00:57:43.000 Until then, if you can, stay free.
